iPhone Firmware 2.0.2 Released

I'm betting that this update did nothing to fix the reception problems people were having. I think that Apple will release that fix in another update.
Updates always seem faster because it's basically doing a hard reboot of the hardware in the process. Your phone will bloat up again after a few days of use...
For everyone curious about the "Databases" setting, this is not new. It shows up in 2.0.1. Apparently, it only shows up after going to certain websites. Such as translate.google.com or google.com/talk.
I have no idea what this does, though.
It would be such a shame if my 1/8th completed backup wasn't available to restore my iPhone!
Just some info guys
I find the phone runs much better
if I turn it right off. and then turn it on again.
I do it every 2/3 days and never have an issue

Well my SMS and contact lag seems to be fixed. However, I am still getting crappy 3G signal. Had a dropped call when handing off from 3G to Edge.
I assume it is exposing information about HTML5 client-side database storage...

Hear, hear! I'm scared, very scared, to update again, after all the Error 6 messages I received last time I updated a few weeks ago

I just finished the update and they still haven't addressed the incredibility slow application installs. Apps tend to sit at the "installing" status with the progress bar at the end for a few mins.
They also haven't fixed the issue with updating applications and it placing the updated version on the last screen. Every time I get my apps setup how I want, I do an update and it now my app is at the end. Its very annoying especially when you have a lot of applications.
Wish list off the top of my head:
- Separate volume control for applications, sharing it with the ringer means I miss many calls if I forget the volume low.
- Vibrate should mute apps
- Why can't I assign the camera to double click home button or any other application ?!
- Ring tone settings for calendar and email
- Push support for something other then MobileMe (Hell, I would even settle for Yahoo at this point)

Many people say 'this update makes my phone feel snappier' after these firmware releases. Well, I'd just like to note that you're doing a full OS reinstall and sync/powerdown/powerup when you update your phone. So you probably do feel that things are faster, but they would probably feel that way if you restarted your phone's OS every day or so. All of these Apps doing weird things to our phones that can cause sluggishness. A reboot fixes a lot of that.
Just saying...

My 3G reception is worse than it was prior to the update. I now have to set it to Edge to get any reception at home, whereas I had good 3G reception with 2.01.
Backing up is so much faster... you don't even have to time it, you can SEE it on the bar in iTunes!
Not noticed any other significant differences, but I haven't had any problems yet. Apart from MobileMe not syncing greatly, but that's another matter!

The Contact delay that frustrated most is no longer present!
My contacts app is running fine with no lag.
You attempted to switch from 3G to edge while on a call? If you attempt to do this your call will get dropped every time. I could be wrong but I don't think you can switch from 3G to edge and vice versa while on a call. Seems like I remember reading that somewhere.
Throw it into airplane mode.
LOL
I wish I remembered that existed. All updated and spring fresh now
